66737

[43067]

Going through Peterborough yesterday on the way back to work, and noticed a shiney re-painted GBrf 66737 nothing odd there i here you say, But the last two Numbers 37 were larger than the others (66737) anybody know the reasone for this or were they just forgotten.

Don't know about the reason for the larger numbers - though the colour difference does look like the 37 is of the older type - Perhaps it's for GB Staff identify it & to tell it's been modified from a 66/4? Ill leave it for the GBRF staff on here i think...

But here's a couple of photos of it - personnaly, i think the newer GBRF livery looks better on the 66/7s with the circular headlight cluster, than the later 66/7 type

Having to have that yellow bit is just stupid!

How odd.. unless since all their 66's will be /7's they only think they need to point out the last two digits?

66731 (I think) was the first to be repainted into GBFRet livery and did not have the two large numbers. I would say at a guess this is a short term measure.
